Canadian conspiracy again? How would you explain D/R's medal in pairs'? Home-grown inflation? No, they won that medal fair and square--and deservedly so.

Kaetlyn (#4) skated a fantastic SP--she sold the hell out of that program and scored above Ashley (#5), who didn't have a 3-3, did a 3Lo for her single triple, and skated tentatively. #6-9 in the SP had definite noticeable flaws in their jumps. As for the LP, don't count your chickens before they hatch. There are a number of factors that could happen that would place Kaetlyn on or off the podium--without home-grown inflation.

Osmond will have pcs cushion skating in last Group so even with 2 errors I think podium for Osmond is not out of the question
Mao's jumps might be scrutinized and she seems worried with Yuna, Kanako will not stay 3rd in the FS for sure.
while not always, the rallying crowd will give Osmond and motivation giving enough boost and with Canadian Inflation her Lp can score a 130-140+ range

The highest she's ever scored was 115. Besides, you're forgetting Akiko Suzuki, who only scored 3 points less than our newbie senior Canadian--if that girl skates like she did at NHK (126) or 4CC (124), I doubt a non-clean Katelyn can beat her (4CC).

Clean Kaetlyn probably, which takes me to my next point ... why can't a clean Kaetlyn stand on the podium if everyone else falters? And why are you already predicting that she'll make two errors?

And don't count Kanako out "for sure". We all counted D10 out after the men's SP ... and we were all completely wrong.
